Hi! The new chapter is here! Thank you all for 1400+ views! That means a lot to me. Also, thank you for favs/follows/reviews. I want to say that I'm reading all your reviews and I appreciate them very much. Here I'll answer to reviews where you asked me questions or gave me suggestions.

To No Account: Yep, Astrid noticed Hiccup. And Hiccup is always working there. Also, I wanted to say that I haven't ignored your last review. I've read it, and I appreciate it very much :)

To Guest: I'm sorry about grammar mistakes. English is not my mother language and I'm trying my best to write right. About the engineer thing, I always was thinking that engineers are designing and not building. I changed Hiccup's profession to design engineer, and I think now it will be right. Thank you for warning me about that :)

To Guest: I think that this chapter will answer your question :)

To CommanderGreya: Yes, Hiccup is building his own plane. I would like to answer your other questions, but there will be many spoilers.

Chapter 4: Memory

Gobber was sitting on his couch and watching TV when his phone rang. He took it from the table and looked at the name. It was Hiccup. Oh, he missed that lad. Gobber answered the call.

"Hello, lad."

"Hi, Gobber."

"How are ya doin'?"

"Good, and you?"

"I'm good too, lad."

"Gobber, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course, everything ya need,"

"Can you come to Dragon highway, with your truck? You will notice my car. I'll tell you everything there."

"I'll be there after twenty minutes."

Gobber stood up, took his keys, and left the house. Interesting, what was the lad up for this time?

Hiccup put his phone back in the pocket. Gobber was his father's best friend, and he knew him since he was a kid. Gobber was always supporting him, no matter what. He was like a second father to him.

Hiccup leaned on the airframe and began to wait. He hoped that Gobber would let him work in his workshop. He worked there many times. Actually, Gobber was the one who taught him how to repair aircraft.

A memory flashed in his mind…

Five-year-old Hiccup was in his room, playing with his dragon toys. Recently, his dad began to be at home rarely. It was upsetting Hiccup. He was going somewhere named 'work'. Hiccup didn't like being alone.

He heard how the door opened. He rushed downstairs and saw his dad.

"Daddy!" cried Hiccup running to him, and hugging him. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," said his dad and hugged him back.

"Daddy, I don't want to stay at home alone, anymore," said Hiccup looking at his dad with his big green eyes.

Stoick sighed and kneeled watching at his son. "Tomorrow, you will not be alone, I promise."

Next morning Hiccup woke up because someone was shaking him. He cracked open his big green eyes and smiled. Yesterday his dad promised that he will not be alone anymore! His dad was standing next to the bed.

"Good morning, son. Get ready, we need to leave from ten minutes," said his dad.

Where are they gonna go? Hiccup didn't know, but he was very excited. He got out of his bed and began to prepare. When he was ready, he went downstairs. His dad was making breakfast.

"Oh, Hiccup, you're ready," said his dad noticing him. "Come, I made breakfast for us."

Hiccup approached the kitchen table and sat on the chair. His dad put in front of him a plate with bacon and eggs. He began to eat his breakfast. Hiccup was curious about where they gonna go.

"Dad, where we're gonna go?" he asked.

"You'll see," answered his dad.

When they ended up eating breakfast, they get out of the home and get into the car. His dad helped him to put on the seatbelt and sat on the driver seat. The car began driving. Hiccup was watching out of the window. He loved doing that.

They stopped in front of a house. It wasn't big, and it wasn't very tidy. They get out of the car and his dad took him to the building next to the house. It was looking like a garage. But when they entered, Hiccup understood that It wasn't a garage. It was a workshop!

Hiccup was very interested in craftsmanship. He really loved to play with his blocks, and when his dad wasn't at home, he was always watching the TV program where they were showing how things are made. He hoped that someday he could create his own things!

Hiccup was amazed seeing that place. He just wanted to run and touch everything! His thoughts were interrupted when a man with no left arm, and with no right hand came out from the room. Hiccup was scared of that man! He quickly hid behind his father.

The man approached them and hugged his father.

"Ah, Stoick! It's good to see ya!" said the man and broke the hug.

"It's good to see you too Gobber," said his father.

"How's going the work?" asked the man, whose name was Gobber.

"Not bad," began Stoick.

His dad was talking about the work, but Hiccup wasn't listening. He was busy inspecting Gobber. He was shorter than his father and he had a blonde braided mustache. Hiccup's eyes landed on Gobber's arm, it was some kind of a hook, and then he looked at his peg leg.

"And who's there?" asked Gobber.

Hiccup turned his attention to the man, understanding that he was talking to him. He hid behind his father, even more still afraid of the man.

"You might be Hiccup," said Gobber.

"Come on Hiccup, say hello," said his father nudging him.

He came out from his hiding place, still not looking at the man.

"Hello," he murmured.

"Come on, lad, Don't be afraid," said Gobber. "Do you want to see something cool?"

Hiccup looked at the man and said.

"Yeah."

"Then, come!" said Gobber and went further into the workshop.

Hiccup followed the man and when they went inside another room he saw something amazing! It was something metallic and red! It had wings like dragon and little wheels! There was a place where people can sit! He had never seen something like that!

"Wow! What is this?" asked Hiccup amazed.

"I see you have never seen a plane before," said Gobber chuckling. "This is an airplane. You can fly with it."

"Fly!? Like dragons!?" asked Hiccup shocked. He was always dreaming about flying. And now in front of him was standing 'airplane', thing that can help him fly!

"Yeah, you can fly with that like dragons," answered Gobber. Hiccup's eyes went wide. So that meant, he could really fly! Hiccup quickly ran to his father and said.

"Dad! Please! Can I fly?" He did puppy eyes and continued. "Please! Please! Please!"

"You're still very young for that," answered his dad. "Maybe later."

Hiccup was a bit upset that he can't fly, but his dad said he could fly when he got older!

"Hiccup, as I promised yesterday, you will not be alone today," said his dad. "I hope you don't mind if you'll stay with Gobber."

"Of course!" Hiccup couldn't wait to know more about the 'airplane'. And also maybe Gobber will teach him how to make things.

Hiccup went and hugged his dad tightly, well as tight as he could, because his father was really huge.

"I'll come and pick you up today at evening," said his dad and hugged him back.

Hiccup broke the hug and said.

"Bye, dad."

"Bye, son," said his dad and left.

Hiccup left there standing and watching at Gobber. The man went somewhere and returned with a tool in his hand. He approached the airplane and began working on it. After some time, Gobber noticed him standing there and said.

"Don't just stand there. Don't you wanna help?"

Hiccup nodded excitedly.

"Then come here," said Gobber. Hiccup smiled and went to Gobber.

Hiccup smiled at the memory. After some time, he heard a beep and saw the familiar truck.

The end. Here was a bit about Hiccup's childhood. You know, actually, this chapter wasn't going to be about Hiccup's memory. I just thought that it will be cool to write how Hiccup met Gobber for the first time, and I wrote. I noticed that it already had 1000+ words, so I decided to publish it as a separate chapter.

Fun fact: This is the first chapter in the story, whose name isn't beginning with 'the' :p

Have a nice day! And until next time :D
